Men who work with wood are sexy.

[livejournal.com profile] spanish_peacock is the bestest woodworker in the whole wide world and I could just kiss him right on the the lips!

exceptin' he's married.

Thank you Miguel the komas are beautiful!
I will be using them today when I start my new project.

Great! But ... what are komas?

They are little wooden bobbins from Japan that are used to hold the gold thread for couching as you work. They are square on the ends so that they do not roll off of your work.

You can see some here-

At Pennsic I asked Miguel if he could make these, he said yes, and now I have a pair and he has something new for his shop! :-)

Gotta keep the Crack flowing!

I don't want to KEEP him, just show rightful gratitude!
